You can export or permanently delete your account and all data at any time.
What makes ImagePDF.Tools different
Most image tools upload your files to a server, process them remotely, and store them temporarily. ImagePDF.Tools takes the opposite approach:
Tool
How it handles your images
Other apps
Upload to server, process remotely, store temporarily
ImagePDF.Tools
Compression, cropping, and metadata editing all run in your browser tab. Your images never leave your device.
This is intentional. We believe your images may be personal, confidential, or proprietary. No image tool should need to see them.
What we collect
Account info — your name and email address (from Clerk sign-in). Used solely for authentication and account identification.
Subscription status — whether you are on the Free or Pro plan. Stored in Clerk user metadata. No separate database.
Anonymous analytics — page views to understand which features are used, via Plausible Analytics. No personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking.
Why we process your data
We only process your data for the following purposes:
Account info — to authenticate you, manage your session, and send essential account-related emails (payment receipts, plan changes).
Subscription status — to gate Pro features (unlimited files, ZIP export, ad-free). This data is shown back to you in your account page.
Analytics — to understand product usage patterns and improve the app. No personal data is used for this.
What we do NOT do
We never upload your images to any server, cloud storage, or third-party service.
We never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for any reason.
We never use your data to profile you, target ads, or build marketing segments.
We never store passwords in plain text Authentication is handled by Clerk with industry-standard hashing.
We never use tracking cookies advertising pixels, or third-party cookie services.
We never train AI models on your images or any data for any purpose.
How your data is protected
We use industry-standard security practices at every layer:
No image server
Images are never transmitted — there is no server-side image storage to breach.
Authentication security
Login is handled by Clerk — OAuth and email/password with bcrypt hashing. Session tokens signed with expiry.
Payments via Stripe
Card data is handled entirely by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). We never see or store your card details.
Edge CDN delivery
All pages served over HTTPS via Vercel's global edge network. Security headers on every response.
Third party services
We use a minimal set of third-party services. None of them receive your images:
Clerk (authentication) — receives your name and email for login. No other data is shared.
Stripe (payments) — handles Pro subscription payments. We never see your card details.
Plausible Analytics — anonymous page view analytics. No cookies, no personal identifiers.
Google AdSense (free tier only) — may use cookies to serve relevant ads. Pro users see zero ads.
Vercel (hosting) — hosts the web application. Standard server logs may be generated but contain no image data.
